FUNNY INCIDENTS Some time ago I Avas asked by one of our larger members to put on a competition for amusing or funny incidents. Now, Ave did so wonderfully well that I am going *o ajsk you to write a brief account of any funny incident in your life.

Well, let me see Avliat sort of funny stories my members can tell by themselves and the best throe will Avin free picture tickets with Peter the Whaler's compliments. ANOTHER GOOD TRICK Here is a simple trick to catch your friends. First put a marble into a bottle and insert the cork. Ask your chum to get the marble out of the bottle "without smashing it or taking out the cork. He will think its impossible, but it isn't. All you do is to push the cork into the bottle and the marble Avill come out easily. 1 RIDDLE POT When is a soldier like a baby? When he is in arms. What tree is a city in Ireland? Cork.
